It's called the "re-cycle" program, said Mark Marion of Aberdeen, and bikes are needed. The benefits are twofold, said Marion: It will aid people who need to get around, to work, a job interview, etc. And, "(It) helps elimi- nate some of the rusting carcasses of bikes in the landfill," he said. Bikes of all sizes - for adults or children - are needed, Marion said.

To the editor - Gerald Krueger's Aug. 26 column has reminded me of one word that has been severely overused: tolerance. For example, I believe that Sen. Tim Johnson has an obligation as an incumbent to debate with his challenger, Joel Dykstra. It is extremely difficult in South Dakota to defeat an incumbent, and challengers should be allowed to enjoy at least somewhat of an even playing field. Why then, would this make me intolerant of Sen. Johnson's health? A recent Rasmussen poll showed that Sen. Johnson led Dykstra by 25 points.

An ad shows a carefree model with windblown hair, gripping a shiny, smart clutch bag. You'd like to be carefree and slim, striding into a breeze, just like that model. If you bought a similar clutch bag, maybe people would say, Take a look at that carefree woman with good taste in clutch bags, stepping fearlessly into the wind. The starving model, ordered around all day, has become wan and worn. She works again for the carefree look after the 150th take, giant fan blowing her face once more.

Dear Annie: I am not writing this to sound anti-female. However, I am frustrated as far as meeting someone for a permanent relationship. I am in my 40s, tall and somewhat good-looking, with a full head of hair and a slender build. I am fairly well-educated with a decent job. I was shy in high school and college and didn't do much dating. After college, I came close to proposing a few times, but when I lost a couple of good jobs, I was basically told to hit the road by women who claimed they cared for me a lot. I didn't start seriously dating again until recently.

Maybe now Jerry Mills can devote more attention to his own yard. In his 30 years as a Brown County Extension Service educator, Mills has been busy addressing everybody else’s problems. He feels a little bit like the plumber who has a leaky faucet or the painter whose own home needs painting. Mills’ own landscape could use some improvement, but he never had the time. “Maybe now, in retirement, I can accomplish this,” said Mills, 63. On Monday, people can thank Mills for his effort.
